THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPXER, OKE. THI HSDAV, FEB. 18. 191.1. PAfiE TIIP.FE Portland. Ore., Feb. 16 (Special) Not only in Oregon, but in all parts of the country, the Government has inaugurated a movement to secure work for the unemployed and to fur nish men or women to farmers and other employers outside the cities. It Is a common sight to see men standing around the streets In town at all seasons of the year who would he glad to go out into the country and go to work if they only knew just where to go and could he certain that the job would be there when they arrive. John H. Barbour, Uni ted States Inspector, Oregon Immi gration Service, has started to list applicants for positions of all kinds and is anxious to receive applications for help from employers of all class es. Every applicant for work will be given a thorough examination as, to his qualifications and no man will be sent out for any specific line of work unless he Is fitted for it, thus leav ing no room for the annual complaint that farmers are supplied with lab orers who know nothing of farm work, at a time when the farmer is too busy to teach them. The first day the office was open more than 100 applications for work were re ceived, and as there are no fees or other expenses connected with the service, It is expected that enough men will be available at any time to fill all possible demands. , held immediately after the close of the legislative session. Mr. Kichard jsun has issued an appeal to all who iiire Interested, asking them to Rive the ma'ler careful consideration and to work up a community sentiment in its favor. T!'e commercial clubs of Polk county have Issued a booklet to be distributed at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco. The advantages that county offers in the lilies of agriculture, fruit growing and manufacturing are set forth in detail and many illustrations will give the reader a good idea of the characteristics of the county. In ad dition, the county will have at the Exposition a very complete exhibit representing all lines of industry. Another movement operating along somewhat similar lines, but with the idea of assisting the would be farmer to get land Instead of work Is now being discussed under the leadership of Tom Richardson, the founder of the Oregon Development League, with the purpose of evolving some feasible plan for financing the small farmer, dairyman or gardener who lias the Inclination and the abil ity to get back to the land and make a success, but who Is financially un able to do so. Educators and busi ness men are decidedly in favor of the scheme and it is probable that a convention for Its discussion will be On February 27 Albany will hold a general "Sales Day." This is to be done for the purpose of bringing the farmer and the merchant closer to gether along business lines. There will be an auction of farm produce and stock, conducted without expense to the farmer, the Albany Commer cial Club making all arrangements and a well known auctioneer donat ing his services. Local stores will stage special sales for that day, and if the scheme proves successful, it will become a regular event. It is a good plan. and should be followed by other cities.

THE First National Bank OF HEPPNER J! The following article on rabies is taken from a bulletin sent out by the state board of health: Rabies has again made its appear ance in Oregon after a period of com parative inactivity of several months. Six people have undergone treat ment with anti-rihic virus in the of fice of the State Board of Health. Rabies Is a specific infectious dis ease common to all mammals, but, contrary to popular belief. Is not en tirely a disease of warm weather. Ninety-five per cent of all cases are the result of the bite of a dog. The cat comes next with three per cent, and the remaining two per cent are the result of accidental Innoculations in scratches and saliva. It is a fact, however, that owing to the ralgra tory instincts of the dog, and from the further fact that in warm weather the period of incubation is probably shorter, the disease Is fre quently more prevalent in the sum mer season. The disease is prevalent in all parts of the United States, but Ore gon, Washington and the northwest territory were exempt until two years ago, when cases occurred In the dis trict east of the Cascade Mountains, and at that time the carriers were the coyotes. Theoretically rabies ought to be the most easily controlled of all epi demic or contagious diseases, but practically it is the most difficult, as was instanced in the City of Port land last fall in the half-hearted at tempt to enforce the muzzling law. W.e difficulty lies in the lack of uni formity of rules and regulations, the fear of political influences, and the idiotic sentimentality of the so-called "animal lovers," the ridicule in the public press, and, far too frequently, the idiotic and ignorant antagonism of the physician who has never seen a case of the disease and therefore denies its existence. In the country all the untagged, unmuzzled dogs should be destroyed. The reason for extending the quar antine into the country is from the fact that one of the first symptoms of rabies in a dog is his tendency to wander away from home. Dogs have been known to travel a distance of fifty miles, snapping at every liv ing object. The dog inflicting the damage in Clackamas County was one that had never been seen in that community before biting a little girl on the forearm as she entered the gate at her own home, afterward bit ing two calves and a pig in the yard. All of these animals have died of the disease. ' Symptoms of Rubles in a Dog. 1. The first symptom is a change in the dog's disposition; usually it becomes more sullen. 2. Restlessness, growing into a tendency to wander away. Two of the people who were bitten in Port land were from their own dogs household pets -that had returned home bedraggled and covered with mud and mire, evidence of having been on a long run, and when their mistress attempted to give them a bath they were promptly bitten. 3. A tendency to snap or bite anything that moves, often develop ing into a perfect fury. 4. Refusing food and usually drink, but may attempt to eat in digestable objects like stones, leather dirt, etc. A rahid dog, during the early stages of the disease, can drink water, and the word hydrophobia is really a misnomer. 6. A change cf voice. The voice becomes a hoarse, high-pitched sort of half bark and half howl. 6. A tendency to tremor, with a possible blindness of the right eye, exceeding irritability, with a grad ually increasing pnralysis, usually be ginning in the left hind leg, and be coming total and ending in dyspnoea or death. 7. A rabid clog does not froth at the mouth and does not always have fits. Setting a pan of water in front of him, and expecting, as is the pop ular belief, that he will "throw a fit" for diagnostic purposes, is an error. These are the symptoms of furious rabies. In dumb rabies the lower jaw is paralyzed early and drops down. The animal acts as though it had a foreign body in its throat, and persons are frequently innoculated in attempting to remove an imaginary bone. The symptoms in nil other animals are somewhat similar. Some animals strike, others butt. Rabid horses strike with their front feet, while others bite. Rabid cows usually butt and a cat with rabies is more vicious than any other animal. When par alyzed it will crawl along and vicious ly bite at anything that moves. One that was recently killed by a police officer In the City of Portland had at tempted to bite all the members of the family, and was biting and scratching the bricks in the fireplace at the time it was killed. The ques tion is often asked: How long will a dog live with rabies?" The period usually varies from forty-eight hours to eight or nine days, and any dog living after a per- od of ten days, you can be assured did not spffer from the disease. The average length of time that all of the animals that have developed the disease here has varied from three to five days after the first s;-m(iUmi it is up to the State of Oregon at OUR SPRING LINE FOR 1915 Apron Ginghams, 8 l-3c yd.

TVT BROTHERS - - OREGON Mxxr::xvr least to appreciate the gravity of the situation, and by hearty co-operation with the city authorities and with the various county and city health officers throughout the State, backed by ample authority and co-operation from the city and county authorities outside Multnomah, we will be able to handle a condition that unless ac tive measures are taken at once, bids fair to be serious. In a letter to The Gazette-Times, relative to a pig being afflicted with hydrophobia, Dr. Calvin S. White says, "the ordinary period of incuba tion is about three weeks and from that time up to Beveral months, and the animal should never bt lestroyed as death always ensues within two or turee days and an examination of the brain would then prove whether the animal was infected with the disease. Killed prior to that time, and partic ularly if shot through the brain, it becomes a matter of guess work." ? me PALM has a complete line of CONFECTIONS, CIGARS and SOFT DRINKS Try our Pop Corn always fresh.
